132: Watercolour Landscape: Morning Light, Pune University Campus

The Nursery at Savitribai Phule Pune University...

The morning Sun peeking through the trees... casting interesting light & shadow patterns on the ground. It was really an intense light there from the right top... Very challenging to capture too. An artist is never satisfied at the end of the day.

Gouache Sketch on Tinted Paper...

I enjoy dabbling in all possible mediums of sketching & painting... gouache being one of them... after working in the magic of the translucent watercolours, working in gouache gives you relief... its thick impasto layering can be undaunting as it gives ample scope for rework... gouache works especially well on tinted papers... switching mediums takes away the monotony too!
